Treceţi batalioane române, Carpaţii speedy

Hi. You recently tagged Treceţi batalioane române, Carpaţii for speedy deletion under CSD A7. However, A7 only applies to people, organizations, and web content. The article in question is a song, so I have removed the tag. Please keep this in mind in the future. Cheers! --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 03:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Nikola Petkov

Greetings! The early postwar period is not among my favourite (I don't like the abolishment of monarchy and think that we should have kept at least Western Thrace in the treaty of Paris ;-) but I will expand the article for Petkov from the BG Wikipedia these days (most of my history books are not at home...) Best, --Gligan (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I am also grateful for your contributions to the article of Nikola Petkov. Your only slight mistake is that Dr G. M. Dimitrov (known also as Geme Dimitrov) was a democrat although ironically both his first and family names coincide with the name of the communist leader;-) Perhaps I should make a small article for him as well. And of course I disagree for Southern Dobrudzha - it was a purely and solely Bulgarian territory and its occupation by Romania is considered a mistake even by most Romanians I know:-) I think that Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia were also doomed - at least because of the presence of Soviet troops... Regards, --Gligan (talk) 19:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is indeed an interesting matter to discuss. I think that that the Americans did not want to create tensions with the Soviets or had some sort of agreement for Prague. Austria was not so important for USSR to separate its occupation zone as it did with Germany - it would have been only unnecessary trouble and tension in my opinion to divide the country or to impose a communist government.

As far as support is concerned I think you are right - many people in the late 40s and early 50s really believed in the ideals of communism; they were convinced that they were working for the prosperity of the nation and equality of all people (for instance my grand-father's brother always describes to me the building of the Batak Hydro Cascade in the 50s with great enthusiasm) and when they realized what the reality was - it was too late... --Gligan (talk) 19:41, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the intrusion, but I think I can add to the conversation. As far as I remember Bulgaria wasn't that doomed. It was on the verge, I think, on the famous box of matches. The percentage was something like 60-40 to Stalin, but I might be wrong. We could've escaped alongside Greece, but I guess the Soviets had a too tight grip here. I've studied some Romanian history in my first semester, but I forgot - were or were not the communists supported in Romania? I think that they weren't and that Russians were generally not too popular in the country, so this would've been a great chance if you weren't surrounded by us commies :)) --Laveol ^T 20:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, friend. Your words touched me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Alas, I tuned in too late for my vote on that soap bubble issue to count - you made a very good point, to which I would have added a request for those who endorse the move to find a context where the name has no diacritics but other words do.

Hiya. I originally intended to say he was from "Holland, The Netherlands" in the opening, but Wikipedia doesn't accept Holland, The Netherlands as valid. So I'm unsure of the correct wording.

Assumptions of good faith..

I am not making speculations that Romanian nationalist know that Roma are only a subgroup. Look at what the user Rezistenta said here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Roma_people#.22Roma.2FRomani_people.22_vs_.22Gypsies.22

"Roma cannot be preffered over gypsy for the very simple reason that Roma is a sub-group of the gypsies, this means not all gypsies are Roma". So he knows that not all "gypsies" are Roma.

You have received "The All Seeing Eye" for "maintaining neutrality". I hope you will continue to do so. Best regards. AKoan (talk) 07:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Cold War

I am not at all happy with Miyokan's edits, but I have had some sort of conflict with him (see e.g. this petty drama and this one), so I wouldn't like to revert him. However, I believe that tertiary sources like Britannica are unacceptable, especilly as there are plenty of scholarship published on this topic. Keep an eye on this.

Excellent work on the article. Thanks for adding additional sources. I went ahead and gave it a thumbs up.Nrswanson (talk) 19:57, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think a one source tag is necessary anymore. You addressed the major issue which was the fact that the two main sections of the article only cited one source.

Good to be back

Hi, thanks for the warm greeting. As I told Eurocopter last week I will be able to edit only sporadically... however I'll be glad to help whenever you guys need me. Anyway, thank you for keeping the Romanian Wiki community together, from what I've seen so far you are a real information broker in the Romanian informal network on the English Wikipedia. It's good that there's someone like you to coordinate things a bit in the face of so many self-inflated egos and traditional disunity that plague the virtual or real-life Romanian communities. Keep up the good work, Mentatus (talk) 06:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Good - this is a good project for me to work on because I do not have enough time for lengthy and elaborate edits. As you might already know, I completed all the communes in the Constanţa County (a year ago or so). I do agree with you that adding articles for each and every tiny and God-forsaken village doesn't really make any sense (that's what I did so far, I added only the communes, not the component villages) since the articles won't store any other information beside the name and the commune they belong to, unless there's something relevant about the village itself to write about (e.g. an important historical event took place there and so on - which I guess it's gonna be pretty rare to start with).

Regarding the "Moldova conflict": Yes, it's silly and sad at the same time. I saw the "Moldovenist" cause just gained some new zealous proselytes ready to conduct edit-wars of attrition. I tend to stay out of this for the moment because of the time constraints - if you guys keep an eye on it I'm sure it won't get out of hand.

If there's anything else I can do give me a shout. Cheers, Mentatus (talk) 07:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Humour is a good thing, really

It took me a while to stop laughing. Petlura was not killed by the Soviets. Sholom Schwartzbard was the hero who have done it. Media Sapiens (talk) 16:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. it's called a conspiracy teory and it cant be taken seriously. "May" is a word of imagination. In real life, no-one ever found any prove the Soviets gave him the orders or where involved in any way. Scwartzbard did that heroic deed because 15 of his family members died in pogroms. Thats the whole case. He was of many who wanted to do it, he was of many who had a reason to do it, the huge number of streets after him in Israel proves it. The Soviets being involved? Conspiracy theories. I never liked those games. You can claim ny the same arguments Petlure was taken by a UFO. Media Sapiens (talk) 16:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Have you heard the pgrase "historical speculation"? It's when a historian wants to eat and writed a book which will cause noise. There is such a possibility, but it has the same number of real proves, i underline, not ideas and possibilities, but real stone-made proves, that Petlura was taken by a UFA, or that he is actualy still alive and lives on a beach in Miamy. Media Sapiens (talk) 16:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

And the most likely is the version the the real historians agreed with, it was a revenge by someone who lost 15 family members in the pogroms. When someone's 15 members are killed, he doesn't ned the NKVD, the CIA, the MOSSAD or whatever to thent them. There's a reason he's a hero in Israel. Media Sapiens (talk) 17:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I saw on a TV program a version that Petlura was killed by one of his men over some fortune he stole. It's a logical version. He controled so many territories, murdered so many people, logical that he also took what they have. Logical someone might want it to. But do you see me talking as if it's the truth? No, Why? It's nothing nore then a version. Just like what you suggest. Media Sapiens (talk) 17:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Cokie's picture

File:Cokie Roberts-a.jpg

Hello Biruitorul, I am glad you uploaded Cokie Roberts's picture, I thought of doing the same thing yesterday when i uploaded her signature, becuase, just as you noticed, it is in the National Archives website, and in some other government websites, however, i did not upload the image because according to the website's privacy policy[5],

"not all materials appearing on this web site are in the public domain. Some materials have been donated or obtained from individuals or organizations and may be subject to restrictions on use".

However it also says,

"Images on our web site which are in the public domain may be used without permission." but if the image is indeed in the public domain for previous reason, then it should be uploaded with another licence.

Now if you did gave some thought to this predicament, and did see a way out of that copyright infringment, then its cool, I wont call for the image to be taken off! but i would like to know your reasoning behind it so i can myself upload pics in the future and have a valid reason to back it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mijotoba (talk • contribs) 00:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

RfA thank you

		Thank you!
		Biruitorul, it is with deep awareness of the responsibility conferred by your trust that I am honored to report that in part to your support, my request for adminship passed (87/14/6). I deeply value the trust you and the Wikipedia community have in me, and I will embark on a new segment of my Wikipedia career by putting my new tools to work to benefit the entire community. My best to you, Happyme22 (talk) 04:44, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Whoa!

Hi, Biru. I'm back (more or less), and I want to begin by thanking you again for the moral support. I'm sad to say that the outcome was as predicted, although the final moment still managed to come unexpectedly (there was an abrupt decline, which, in retrospect and given the suffering he was exposed to and the horrific state of hospitals in Romania, was probably for the best). I'm slowly coming to terms with it.

But now for better and more unusual news. I was editing some more on the Bogdan-Piteşti and Mateiu articles, and was wondering if there are some more sources out there. A fine one came along (and from what an outstanding author!), but, it turns out, I would partly be citing... myself (eight paragraph from the top). I'm truly humbled, and this ranks as one of the best things happening to me since I started editing wikipedia. But this leaves open the issue of citing that article... Should I ignore that part and focus on the rest? Hm. Dahn (talk) 20:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Hm again. Unfortunately, Giurescu says virtually nothing (other than a couple of generic banalities) about the Moldavian Revolution. Djuvara also largely ignores it, and in any case I don't have the book on me; it's safe to just paste the Djuvara references from the MK article, as they are virtually all that he has to say (note that they are mostly about what happened afterwards). I could do that and also revisit other sources I used in the past if it's okay by you, but I'm afraid there is little of substance on the actual events, if that is what you were looking for. I'll see what I can do today or, at the latest, tomorrow. Don't worry, if all goes well, a DYK is in the making. (Can I please also change the link to Constantinople? I know it sounds better to Orthodox ears, and I respect that, but at least for now the article it leads to stops dead in the 15th century, and makes a point about stopping there.)

Don't it seem like we're the good cop (you)-bad cop (me) of rowiki? :) Indeed, I'm glad to see things moving there, and, though I take little interest in the Spice Girls myself, I have to say that the guys doing pop over there put the other camps (except Plinul's, of course) to shame for now (well, I did a little pop myself).

Awright, I'll take your advice on Vianu's article - just allow me to quote it if the usual crowd should get the idea that I'm "on my high horse etc" ;).

Finally, a geographical query: I'm contemplating expanding the Anatol Baconsky article, but his birthplace is a mystery. He was born in Cofa, Bessarabia, supposedly in Hotin County. Would that be a village or part of a larger locality? Does it still exist? Is it still named Cofa? Google gives me the most idiotic results, and I can't either limit the search or access a better source. Dahn (talk) 22:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Salut!

Hi, Biru, I'm Vijay. From what I've seen and heard, you seem to be a remarkably good editor.

Please stop removing, it is not useful to talk while you removing! Source of these images is requested as well as modern ones, there is no different Wikipedia is not an original _{or first} source, and its policies say that clearly.--OsamaK 19:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Please, stop! This is a simple joke, this is not a photograph image, that's meaning, it may be drown recently.--OsamaK 18:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Yikes! I may not know much at all about images, etc., and maybe I'm just saying something stupid, but isn't this disclaimer(? for lack of a better word) a bit harsh? --Kuaichik (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

1970 floods in Romania DYK

On 22 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 1970 floods in Romania, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Congratulations! --PeterSymonds (talk) 19:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Please confine yourself to Eastern Europe in future

Moldavian Revolution of 1848

Well I haven't really been involved so far, but I understand your frustration. I'll have a look. Lampman (talk) 19:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Big thank you!

Hello, Biruitorul! I want to give you a huge thank you for your hard work on fixing images source. I'll try to find sometime for helping you. Few users who try to fix rather than useless discussion or reexplaining. Thank you again! --OsamaK 21:00, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I've been away so long....

...I'd forgotten just how satisfying it is to whack meaningless trivia sections into oblivion. Honestly...who thinks it's either helpful or necessary to quote every single reference to something ever made by a fictional character on TV last week?? K. Lásztocska^talk 00:24, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Sigh. Sometimes I think that if some magic turul bird or whatever appeared out of nowhere and offered to grant me one wish, I wouldn't wish for world peace, a billion dollars, a Stradivarius violin or even my very own nuclear rowboat....I'd just wish that 75% of the planet's population would develop some common sense. (We need the remaining 25% to keep things amusing, though preferably not on Wikipedia.) Do let me know if you notice any particularly nice 19th-century photos tagged for deletion, I'll throw myself into the fray.

Back in action...yes, but in four days I'm going to be hit with a large dose of kryptonite in the form of three weeks in an internetless village in a picturesque backwood on the Bohemian-Moravian border. I'll be fully back in action, with the blessing of a large library and the curse of a large course-load, by September 1. When that date arrives, would you like to collaborate on perhaps working George Enescu up to an FA class article? It seems an excellent collaboration topic for us, given that it concerns a prominent Romanian who happened to be a musician. :) K. Lásztocska^talk 02:16, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
